Subject: [RFC 09/11] ext4: Ensure ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() is called for all prefetched BGs
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 18:07:36 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7540e4069b22fce42dbef34ee0796d5cf5d82fe3.1674822311.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1674822311.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>
Before this patch, the call stack in ext4_run_li_request is as follows:
/*
* nr = no. of BGs we want to fetch (=s_mb_prefetch)
* prefetch_ios = no. of BGs not uptodate after
* ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait()
*/
next_group = ext4_mb_prefetch(sb, group, nr, prefetch_ios);
ext4_mb_prefetch_fini(sb, next_group prefetch_ios);
ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() will only try to initialize buddies for BGs in
range [next_group - prefetch_ios, next_group). This is incorrect since
sometimes (prefetch_ios < nr), which causes ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() to
incorrectly ignore some of the BGs that might need initialization. This
issue is more notable now with the previous patch enabling "fetching" of
BLOCK_UNINIT BGs which are marked buffer_uptodate by default.
Fix this by passing nr to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() instead of
prefetch_ios so that it considers the right range of groups.
Similarly, make sure we don't pass nr=0 to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() in
ext4_mb_regular_allocator() since we might have prefetched BLOCK_UNINIT
groups that would need buddy initialization.
